To Crack or Not to Crack....

[All The Hype]

I have a rainbow through red of a prospect, but the orange ref is a BGS 9 (subs 9, 9, 9, 10). I can't decide if I want to crack it out and have a nice, uniform raw near-rainbow or if I should just leave it in for protection and potential future value.


If it were a 9.5 it would be a no-brainer to leave it of course, but since 9s often don't add a ton of value, it might be worth it to crack it just for the sake of the rainbow looking better (all cards raw instead of one BGS 9 and the rest raw).


What would you do?

Crack it and regrade it raw.

Think I should send in the whole rainbow? The orange would be the toughest to gem although the red could be tough too. I already have 9.5 copies of Blue and Xfractor and I am sending a few refs in next time I submit.

Yup, send them in via the FCB Group sub.

Yep, planning on sending my stuff with next month's group sub, just trying to decide if these have a good enough shot at 9.5s.

I just got back an order of from BGS. I didn't use the FCB group order. Not sure why ,but I went 6/15 with 9.5's...not great..not bad..
